I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy.

I'm not real good at the administrative part of running a company.

What can we put into the hands of people under oppressive regimes to help them? For me, a big part of it is information, knowledge - the ability to defeat propaganda by understanding it.

Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.

Wikipedia is the #5 site on the Web and serves 450 million different people every month - with billions of page views.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

I'm a very friendly person, and I think that's had a big impact on my work because I tend to be pretty good with not trying to always win every argument and things like that. I just sort of try to bring a lot of people together to talk.
